Trump's policy was Remain in Mexico.

That sounds so benign, but it wasn't. Even Ivanka said (reportedly) "Dad, you can't do this to people."

Of course illegal immigration soared in 2021. COVID was getting under control, things were opening up, and jobs were available again. That's really the draw. Eliminate that draw, and you eliminate probably 90% of the problem.

As for "new democrat voters", that wouldn't happen. Most of those people for Central and South America are Catholic. Usually very devout. Very conservative. If the Reps would take a more reasonable stance on immigration, they'd have loads of support from Latino people. That's the ONE thing that drives them to support Dems. Everything else they are more or less aligned with Reps.
